Horse Drawn Wedding Carriage
The wedding carriage we use is called a glass landau and was made by craftsman in Europe exclusively for Cobs and Carriages.
Although only a few years old we followed traditional landau design but also added some features of our own to suit today’s wedding hire:
- We have specially commissioned wider doors for big dresses.
- Disk brakes are also fitted for steep hills.
- Ivory coloured with gold carvings.
- Wine velvet interior.
- ‘Glass fronted’ so when it rains the carriage can be fully enclosed, but the bride and groom can still be seen.
When the weather clears it can be fully opened once again in less than 2 minutes.
The Horses
The Horses we use for our carriage are ‘Bright Bay Dutch Gelderlanders imported from Holland called Yan and Yeolander.
These are especially breed for carriage driving. Gelderlanders are usually the breed you see pulling the fine carriages in the period films and dramas. We also have ‘Our Basil’ whom we call our spare wheel and is always ready to step in last minute.
